Diagnostic Accuracy of Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography in Differentiating Tumor and Bland Thrombus in Patients With Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Introduction Differentiating tumor thrombus from bland thrombus can be challenging. This study assessed the diagnostic performance of positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET/CT) scans in differentiating bland versus tumor thrombi in patients with cancer. Methods We systematically searched for observational studies evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of PET/CT scans in differentiating tumor from bland thrombi in adult cancer patients. We included patients with suspected tumor or bland thrombus …
